Gardening leave
Dear East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust,
It would seem your Trust is very generously offering "gardening leave" payments to some.
Can you tell me how many individuals have been offered these payments over the past 7 years and how much this has cost in total?
Yours faithfully,
J Lowe

Dear East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust's handling of my FOI request 'Gardening leave'.
I am dissatisfied with your response and as a public body that spends public money, I expect you to be able to show how much you have spent of my money over the years on this so called gardening leave.
I would appreciate this information without too much more time wasting if at all possible.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/g...
Yours faithfully,
J Lowe
